Day 1: Why we walk for Wenjack

Everybody has their own reason to Walk for Wenjack. For some, it may be a moment to honour Chanie. For others, it may be an opportunity to raise awareness of the true history of residential schools. Each Walk for Wenjack is unique.

Day 1: What will we include in our act of reconciliation?

Our school will walk together like we did last year on our back fields as an act of reconciliation. Some of the crew classes made posters for this walk. Who will include that in their reconciliation?

​

Discuss…

What would could the poster look like?

Day 4: Follow up, Math or Kahoot

If you need more time from yesterday’s story maps continue with that slide and information. By the end of class, calculate the following:

We collectively need near 2,000 laps to match the 600km to bring Chanie home.

How many laps, on average per person is needed if we have 564 people at our school?
